Using 3880 PK 3rd Party (InkSupply) Inks in Epson R1800

Using 3880 PK 3rd Party (InkSupply) Inks in Epson R1800

2014-09-29 by TerryGls@...

I've use Paul's 3MK with Eboni ink in my R1800's with great results on Matte paper.

Any issues in using three PK inks from 3880 (which has the gloss coating) in the PK, MK, and GL positions of the R1800?
I realize a new curve would need to be developed and the blacks may not be "true Black" like Eboni.

Am wonder if the droplet size could be an issues since R100 has a 1.5pl while most 3880's are 3.5pl?

Any thoughts?

Thanks, Terry

I expect it'll work just fine.
